I made a poster for Uncensored Celebration, an art show benefit for the ACLU of Oregon celebrating free expression and social justice. Local artists were call to design a poster around the main fights that ACLU of Oregon is having right now. I decided to focus on immigrants rights and the NO TO MEASURE 1O5 which will be in the ballot next November election and it’s trying to remove Oregon from being a Sanctuary State.

The all process of making the poster was a great experience for me. Attending some meetings at ACLU with other artists and learning about their work. Meeting other artists that want to help with their work to inspire change and work towards social justice. The making of the poster. I’m very happy with it. Sadly I couldn’t use the colors I had on mind so the poster turned a bit saturated.

The exhibition will be host at Lagunitas Community Room on October 4th. Posters will be for sale and artists in attendance. $15 tickets include two drinks and tacos. Please support this event and the work of ACLU. Buy tickets here!
